While Kim’s family agreed with her opinion, fans were quick to slam the SKIMS mogul for her “out of touch” take.
'SCREAMS OF PRIVILEGE'
After the video was shared by Kardashian fan account , one critic wrote in the comments section: “I love the ladies, but this screams of privilege. I'm sorry it's not so easy for many.
"This notion that no one wants to work is wrong, and is a tired argument billionaires use to put down the working class.”
Another added: “They have no idea how the ‘real’ world works. Many women aren’t able to get the babysitters and luxury things in their everyday life, that they have.”
A third chimed in: “This statement sounded like a toxic boss that can't find people for a vacancy because he is offering s***ty conditions.”
The backlash continued as another Instagram user commented: “She sounds so ignorant!! Not many people can choose a healthy work environment!! Like shut up if you don’t know what a real, every day, corporate America looks like.”
“I really hate when they say things like that. I seems like they don’t realize how privileged they are,” someone else wrote.
Meanwhile, many argued that the average woman doesn’t have the same advantages as the Kardashians.
Another commented: “We all don’t have the choice or option to pick and choose our work environments. Secondly we don’t have glam teams, drivers and nanny’s and chefs and all these things to make our lives run easier.
“In fact we are all those things combined FOR OURSELVES meanwhile all you have to do is wake up. We have to do all those things and manage to show up one time.”
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
Kim and Kourtney also spoke about when they'll quit reality TV for good during the interview.
When asked if she plans on saying goodbye to reality television in the future, Kim said she “sometimes” considers that to be “the dream.”
She added that then maybe she “can stop being Kim K. in 10 years.”
